Homeschool Day at the Capital

Tuesday was the 17th annual Homechool Day at the Capital. The following is taken from WVHEA web site.

Homeschool Day at the Capitol offers an excellent introduction to state government. Learn how the legislature works and find out about other offices of the executive and judicial branches of our state government. Explore the Capitol with a tour guide and on our scavenger hunt. Meet and chat with your representatives about homeschooling or whatever else is on your mind. Show our elected officials and the general public how homeschoolers learn by bringing displays of your special projects or your group’s activities.

Tim, Kellen and Lydia headed for Charleston for the event. I stayed home with the two little ones because Vivian was running a fever. Tim and the kids looked at displays, and mingled with government officials and other homeschoolers. The homeschool band played.

I'd keep the 5 yr. old taking pictures! A matter of a fact I think most of the magazine I seen inline at the stores should be replaced by other 5 yr. olds just like the one who took the picture on your blog.

Wouldn't life be that much happier?! I'd would love to see things like this instead of Pam Anderson's cellulite (which this may be the only thing I share with poor Pam now days but I don't want to be reminded of it and I am sure Pam doesn't want to see it either if she goes shopping..lol)

The five year old was a GREAT photographer! Very cool way to empower her!

I think we need to do a field trip like this soon. I need to find out what places closeby offer a homeschooling day. This will be a dreary in-between winter and spring, so a field trip could be just the ticket.
